If a country wants to feel safe, they HAVE to treat their neighbours better
But Israel were. They withdrew from Gaza in 2005, I think it was. Lots of money was given to Gaza to enable itself to build so that there could be peaceful co-existence. Israel tolerated the regular rockets sent over from Gaza to Israel as they had the Iron dome. Israel was treating its neighbours better.
And look how that turned out for Israel. The people slaughtered on October 7th were the peaceful left wing Israelis, the type who did initiatives to bring Israelis and Palestinians together. The ones who wanted a secure peaceful future for all. I know of a family in one of the Kibbutz who were friends with a Palestinian man. Turns out he used his knowledge from visiting them to inform the Hamas terrorist attacks on them.
It is just astonishing that people can say things like 'they have to treat their neighbours better' with such a complete lack of reflection and insight.
Yes, treating neighbours better has to include things like not launching a brutal terrorist attack on children, women and men, raping, burning, torturing, murdering and hostage taking. But somehow, extraordinarily, I don't think, that is what you meant.
It is only Israel. who has the responsibility to be the 'better neighbour' no matter what atrocity befalls them. The ' bad neighbour' narrative will not be applied to those who attack Israel.
It is this, this absolute blind prejudice. The refusal to acknowledge that Something Happened to Israel, that sparked all this. The refusal to apportion blame or responsibility to those who DELIBERATELY AND KNOWINGLY started this conflict on October 7th. It is this that shows the utter blind hatred and prejudice that means these people will always condemn Israel. no matter what, but never those who attack Israel. This poster, however unwittingly, could not have proved this blinding hatred more clearly. And it clearly has blinded him or her from seeing clearly.
